Description of problem: In versions 7.1 through 7.3 mod_ssl was compiled with SSL_EXPERIMENTAL defined. This enabled SSL engine support and the SSLCryptoDevice directive. However, ever since RedHat switched over to Apache2, this feature hasn't been enabled in mod_ssl. I have enabled it successfully with a minor change in the httpd src.rpm. This feature is a must-have for any enterprise which uses SSL hardware acceleration (which is provided in the RedHat kernel, with the hwcrypto rpm and in OpenSSL). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.0, 9, Severn(?) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add "SSLCryptoDevice builtin" to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf 2. Restart httpd 3. Actual Results: Apache refuses to recognize the directive. Expected Results: The directive should be recognized, as it was in the versions of mod_ssl included in RedHat 7.1-7.3 Additional info: I file this as a bug, not as an enhancement, since it is an essential feature which was included in former builds but isn't any more.
Created attachment 95121 [details] It defines SSL_EXPERIMENTAL_ENGINE in the src.rpm
